Gameplay

Players assume the role of a "Moderator", Jack Banhammer, who has 10 seconds to navigate each floor, with extra time awarded by killing enemies, consuming soda cans from destroyed vending machines, and performing finishing moves on foes with various items found in the environment. Upon death, Jack restarts from the last checkpoint with all upgrades reset. Players can acquire upgrades and weapons between floors. Obtainable weapons include a revolver, shotgun, rifle, submachine gun, railgun, plasma rifle, and elemental katanas.

The game features multiple game modes, including a campaign, a survival mode, and a boss rush mode. The boss rush mode features a crossover with Ultrakill.

Story

The game is set in the year 2095, where "Robillionaires" have taken over the world, and humans are addicted to dopamine. Jack Banhammer, a "moderator" hired by Peace Corp, sets out to rescue the "Influencer" from a skyscraper filled with killer Robillionaires in exchange for a new pair of shoes.

Jack eventually reaches an upper floor where he finds Mr. Bullet, one of the top Robillionaires, holding the Influencer hostage, having left her tied to a chair in a bridge between the skyscraper and the neighboring structure. However, this turns out to be a robot decoy, who explodes and blasts Jack away. Jack then spots Mr.

Development

Developer Hammer95 Studios is based in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The game was influenced by classic anime from the 1980s and 1990s.

The owner and director of Hammer 95 Studios, Alessandro Martinello, had previously directed the 2015 game, Toren, at the studio Swordtales.

Reception

The game received positive reviews on Metacritic. Zack Zwiezen of Kotaku said, "It's even better that the game is one of 2024's best, thanks to its solid world-building, awesome visuals, and incredibly fast action." Nick Cramer of IGN said, "It's one of the most 'feels cool to pull off stuff' power trip FPS games I've played since Superhot." Zoey Handley of Destructoid called it "my favorite game released this year".
